Genre:Drama, Crime
Summary: Chronicles the life and times of Nucky Thompson, the
undisputed ruler of Atlantic City, who was equal parts
politician and gangster. A bustling little city by the seashore,
totally dependent upon money spent by tourists, Atlantic City’s
popularity rose in the early 20th century and peaked during
Prohibition. The resort’s singular purpose of providing a good
time to its visitors - whether lawful or not - demanded a single
mentality to rule the town. Success of the local economy was the
only ideology, and critics and do-gooders weren’t tolerated. By
1900, a political juggernaut, funded by payoffs from gambling
rooms, bars, and brothels, was firmly entrenched. For the next
70 years, Atlantic City was dominated by a partnership comprised
of local politicians and racketeers. This unique alliance
reached full bloom in the person of Enoch “Nucky” Johnson - the
second of three bosses to head the Republican machine that
dominated city politics and society.
